Open for admiration! Welcome to 1695 Quay Street in Lakewood...
This all-brick home is a unique architectural statement, inside and out. As you approach the house, its distinctive flat roof and deep eaves are visually powerful, enhanced by its massing of two intersecting blocks, one horizontal and one vertical. These classic International Style elements make this house stand out on its large corner lot. The taller mass, accentuated with its large windows, houses the main living spaces of the house, the living room, kitchen, and dining room.
The large living room is sunken below the main level, giving it extra height from floor to ceiling, and increasing the drama of its large windows and native stone fireplace. Adjacent to the fireplace is a built in planter, with stone to match the fireplace. This living room is large enough that the space could be used as both a living room and formal dining area, if so desired.
The open plan flows into the dining area, which has direct access to the backyard through sliding glass doors, and the large kitchen. Shaker cabinets and quartz countertops are accented by painted brick and subway tile. The brick wall features a built-in double-oven, and a little nook is perfect for a coffee maker or other small appliance where there once was an indoor grill.
Off the kitchen is a service area with washer/dryer and a full bath, as well as a mud room that leads to the two car garage. This wing also features the 4th bedroom which in addition to a bedroom, would work great as a guest room, study, or home office, and features a door that opens directly to the back patio.
On the other side of the house is a bedroom wing with 3 bedrooms, a shared full bath, and an ensuite 3/4 bath in the master bedroom. High windows allow for privacy while letting in natural light, and makes placing furniture easier, as the height allows for furniture to be placed under the windows.
The huge backyard features a covered patio, and lots of space for outdoor entertaining, playing games, or for an active dog to run and play. A park-like open space is directly across the street to the north, and the small mature neighborhood has huge mature trees, including a blue spruce in the front yard.
Notice the unique details on the outside of this home. Stained wood tongue-and-groove soffits are a great accent on the giant eaves, and the weeping mortar is an interesting 1950s era detail that really makes this house unique. Don’t miss the built-in planter right in front of the main windows in front; a great place to add colorful flowers to the house in the spring and summer that can be enjoyed from the indoors and out!
Walking distance to light rail, WestFax Brewery, Lamar Station Plaza, Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters, and 40 West Arts District. Only a mile (10 minute walk) to Edgewater’s historic 25th Ave shops, the new Edgewater Public Market, and Sloan’s Lake Park. 10 minute drive to downtown, 20 minute drive to the foothills.
